When replacing the filter, do you have to turn the water supply off or is it automatic in the mounting unit?

I would recommend that the water be turned off if you have a shut-off valve. Some have said they do it without the water being off, but they get some water sprayed around while doing so. I would never try it without the water being turned off!

Make sure you turn the water off. If you don't you will have a mess to clean up.

You can change it with the water running. But I differently don't recommend it. I was a little slow the last time I changed mine and bathed myself and everything under the sink.....................

It just screws on. Are you sure you have the filter seated properly in the unit? If the filter isn't seated properly you might have trouble getting the cover back on.

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

The filter assembly goes under the sink and is very easy to change. You don't even have to turn off the supply line.

Yes, it screws off but the threads are on the outside. Some aerators thread on the inside. See if your filter can screw on that way. I don't have a filter on mine.

Not sure what you are asking. My experience is system was running fine without a filter change after two years. I took the battery out of the unit just because I knew I would not change the filters after only 6 months. When I did change the filters recently, there was no change in the water flow. Hope this helps.

Yes it is normal. I have the same system. Its the design of the system. The way it works the filters are never under pressure. The pros are you don't have to worry about water leaks. the con is its annoying that it takes time to shut off. The more pricier ones have a pressurized tank allowing better flow control or instant shut off.

You use hot water as you normally would, it comes right out of your faucet. Nothing will run through this filter, hot or cold, until you want it to. You have to "turn it on" so to speak.

Hello. The filter goes in under the sink - its not to big - its easy to change if you can reach it from around the sink. Its even easier for me to because I have my husband do it!!!!!

Yes, it remains off. You will have to manually turn it back on if your water cools down.

Open the front of the a/c unit on the side facing the room and remove the filter by hand and clean it well with a dry paint brush to remove any pollen/lent etc., I take it outside to do this...or you can wash it under running cold water if it really needs that much cleaning, but blow it dry with a hair dryer or similar before replacing it. Then if the light is still on afterward, press the filter button and it goes off. This light comes on after the air conditioner has operated, I believe the directions said around 1000 hrs., so it's automatic, even if you have already cleaned it prior. Hope this helps you.

You position it away from the water outlet. Hasn't alarmed from filter yet. Take out of pool to swim. Has a magnetic key to turn off

It turns On and stays in that position till you turn it off. No holding needed. The taste of the water is much better tHru the filter.

Couldn't be simpler. Instructions are very clear. Basically, unscrew the faucet "cap" and screw on the filter! We had no need for the adapter components included for some situations. Also included is some plumbers tape, which we did not need. Just be sure to always "click over" the diverter before running HOT water. It ruins the filter. The only problem we had with this filter, and the reason for replacement, is that our Chicago water is terrible -- and the eventually the diverter stopped working (after 4 years). Hope this helps.

No filter that needs to be replaced. Press the button on the bottom to let the water out, and that's it. It works great!

It's ready to go from the box. If your water is too hard you might want to buy a filter, but it functions perfectly without it as well
